Thank you for being a Bold Progressive!

The "Fix The Debt" campaign, backed by tens of millions of dollars from corporate CEOs, is pushing an aggressive campaign to cut Social Security benefits while lowering the corporate tax rate. It claims that it is bipartisan and that it represents all Americans, not just the wealthy elite.

But Fix The Debt's carefully crafted messaging fell apart over the weekend, as it quietly conceded that it won't even take a position on one of the most popular ideas for deficit reduction: ending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.

In a statement to The National Journal, the organization wrote, "The Campaign to Fix the Debt does not have a position on raising tax rates.”

We conducted polling in the crucial swing state of New Hampshire an found that 66 percent of those surveyed want to end Bush tax cuts for households making more than $250,000 a year.

Fix The Debt can't claim to be representing all Americans if it can't even commit to some of the most basic and fair policies that they want.
